In case you have ever wondered what it would be like if someone threw a Match 3 Game and Tic Tac Toe together in a cooking pot, added some bright colors and then made an app out if it, here you go. Square Stacker is the colorful result and a matching game unlike most others. The rules are basically the same as in any Match 3 game or as in Tic Tac Toe. You have to combine the same color three times to make the squares disappear. But in this case you can match the colors in a row, in a column or - and that’s new - in a stack. That means if you stack three same colored squares in one spot, it will disappear as well. But since there are not only different colors, but also different sizes of squares, let’s take a look at the rules: 1. Rows and Columns Match three squares of the same color in a row or column. The sizes don’t matter and neither do the other colors in the same row. This means you can match a small orange square surrounded by two bigger squares of a different color with two other orange squares in this row, no matter in which position they are in the stack. 2. Stacks The other option of combining 3 colors is a stack. To make a stack disappear you have to place the same color three times in the same spot. If you build a stack out of a small, medium and large square in the same color you have build a so called full stack and it will disappear from the screen. The basic rules are simple as you can see. However it takes a bit of strategy, planning and wits to reach the highest score here. If there is no more room on the screen to add a new stack, the game is over and you will receive a score. 3 in a row is a game played by generations of people, and with Square Stacker it has been elevated to a new level of fun. Stack the squares, match the colors, double the fun! Features: - Match 3 and Tic Tac Toe combined - A fun strategy game - Highscores - For Adults and Kids - HD quality
